Well that's good you are a photographer, so you hopefully know what you are doing behind the camera. That's a huge advantage over most of the market who jumps right in for profit. Find out what your market is offering and what they're not offering, try to craft something you need. If I were you as a photography background, I would create a headshot studio photo booth experience that lets you do headshots at rapid pace and create prints, and free digital downloads for your clients without editing.
You could sell that to corporate services for a fixed fee of $2-5k to just hang out in an office for half a day and snap nice studio quality headshots.
Photo booth doesn't have to be a 'booth'
While many people would see these images of themselves as a vast upgrade from the crap iPhone photos they are accustomed to, what you describe is not how a true quality headshot is created.
Not sure what you mean? We run a headshot booth and I can assure you, we create great quality headshots using everything that would be done in a full studio setting (keylight, fill light, depth of field, high-end ff camera + lens, and whatever else is needed to achieve the look or room we have to work with) - and there are others who ONLY do this. The only thing lacking is personality - we don't sit there and pose each guest for an hour to get different styles, etc. These are bulk jobs, so there has to be a level of speed to get through a tradeshow or corporate office scenario.
Ok. We’re talking apples and oranges. You’re doing bulk… conferences and the like. I see what you mean.
I was referring to a dedicated one on one head shot session.
